With that, he stood up and left.

The two assistants followed behind and didn’t know how to persuade him anymore.

When he walked out of the clubhouse, James was angry and emphasized again, “Call Donald rightnow. He has always wanted to sign a contract with us on this project. Why not we agree with him!?”

“Mr. Cook,” one of his assistants reminded him, “Yancey Group and Grande Group are deadly rivals.They have always been competing with each other. Aren’t we afraid of offending Mr. Yancey if we dothat?”

“It’s his own fault, as he didn’t come himself! Should we take the blame?” James said resolutely, “Justdo that!” That’s just what he wanted! He wouldn’t cooperate with anyone but the Grande Group!

“Okay.”

Since James gave the order, what else could he say?

They would sign the contract with Grande Group on the project sooner or later, now that he had madea decision.

When Michael returned to the company, he got down to business. Thinking of his task today, he calledJames and said sincerely, “Mr. Cook, I’m very sorry for the delay today. Let’s…”

“Let’s talk about it later.” James on the other end of the phone said indifferently, “I’m signing a contractwith Mr. Morrison, the president of Grande Group. If you’re going to talk about this project, then forgetit. If it is something else, we can talk later, Michael.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone calmly while Michael’s eyes darkened as he heard the buzzingfrom the other end of the phone.

The project was screwed up.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the president’s office, Michael was still regrettinglosing the project. But soon he thought of the girl who was still unconscious in the hospital.

When the door of the emergency room opened, the doctor said to him, “Michael, Ms. Yeager’s injury isnot very serious, but there is a slight concussion. If not taken good care of, she may have sequelae andmigraine in the future. So it is best to keep her from a cold wind for nearly one month. As for excessiveblood loss, she will be alright after a blood transfusion.”

“Doctor, when will she wake up?”

“It depends. She may wake up in two hours or tomorrow.”

“OK, thank you, doctor.”

Thinking of the conversation with the doctor outside the emergency room, Michael was a little absent-minded. He was worried about her so much but he didn’t even have the chance to stay in the ward withher…

Michael had heard of this kind of love before-love but not own, humble and insignificant, which,unexpectedly, he had to experience now.

He thought that he would forget her as soon as possible and only treat her as an ordinary friend.

In a VIP advanced care ward of the hospital, Violet had not yet woken up.

If it weren’t for her pale face and the thick gauze wrapped around her forehead, people would havethought she was just asleep.

Jack sat in a chair in front of the bed and slowly held her cold fingers. For the first time in his heart, headmitted that Violet was the first person who could affect his thoughts.

Hearing that she was injured, he put aside all important things and rushed here as soon as possible.

He couldn’t do anything but stare at her like this. What mishaps she had suffered in her life!

Zephyr didn’t follow her all day long, but just while he went to the villa today, unfortunately, somethinglike this happened.

Fortunately, Michael was there.

Michael…

At the thought of Michael, who had appeared in front of Violet when she fell in danger, Jack’s eyesflashed with a trace of sadness.

No one knew how much time had gone by.

The fingers in Jack’s palm moved a bit. He looked at her and found that the eyelashes also trembledslightly. Was she going to wake up?

He held his breath and became so happy that he forgot to let go of her hand.

The girl in the hospital bed opened her eyes. She saw a white ceiling and a faint smell of wormwoodgreeted her nose. She blinked tiredly, remembering the scene before she fell into a coma, looking downand then seeing a familiar face.

They looked at each other while the time seemed to be still.

“You finally woke up!” He was delighted with a bright light in his eyes.

Her fingers moved again, and then her eyes fell on his hand, only to replace that he was holding her hand.

He didn’t let go of her hand, nor did he hold it tightly. She just looked at him in a daze, and theatmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassing.

In the huge ward, there was only him and her.

Violet remembered the scene before the incident. A car suddenly stopped the black car in which shewas sitting, and when the driver stepped on the brake of the black SUV, her body flew out, injuring herforehead and making her unconscious.

It was so thrilling at that moment, and that car speed was driving too fast. Now she still had a lingeringfear when thinking back.

She looked at his face and raised her bloodless lips, saying, “What did you think then?”

Jack didn’t seem to understand what she meant.

“How dangerous! Aren’t you afraid of death?” Violet frowned and said, “If you miscalculated the exactdistance and they failed to brake in time, they would have smashed your car directly.” There was atrace of blame mixed with love in her tone, and these two kinds of emotions were beyond that of beingtouched.

Jack froze for a moment, as his feeling became complicated.

He clenched her hand and changed the topic with concern, “Does your forehead still hurt? Do you feeluncomfortable? Can I call a doctor?”

He was deliberately avoiding her question, and Violet couldn’t ask anymore. Seeing that he was intact,she felt more moved at the moment.

“It doesn’t hurt. It just feels tight. Maybe the anesthetic has not been applied yet.” She asked, “Did I getany stitches?”

“Seven stitches,” Jack replied as Michael had told him.

As a girl, she had to worry about her future appearance with stitches on her face, so there was a traceof sadness on her face.

“I just called Dr. Gordon.” He said gently, “He has some specific medicine that can relieve your painand help you recover as soon as possible.”

Violet gently withdrew her fingers out of his palm and closed her eyes.

“If you don’t feel well, you can just sleep for a while. I will be with you.”

“Do you have many foes?” Violet asked with her eyes closed, “I almost died because of you this time.”

“Because of me?”

Violet thought it necessary to tell him that. “Yeah. They found the secret of your eyes and caught me forconfirmation.”

He looked at her with his deep eyes and said, “Forget it. Michael will replace it out.” As soon as Jackfinished speaking, something flashed through his eyes.

She opened her eyes gently and looked at him, saying, “Where are they? Did you fight with them? Didyou get hurt?”

Jack smiled gently to hide his feelings. “No, I didn’t. Stop thinking about it, okay? I’ll deal with it. All youneed now is to recover.”

“Aren’t you busy?” She asked, “Are you going to stay here all the time?”

“I’m not so busy.” His eyes were full of gentleness as he said, “Since you got injured because of me,how could I just sit and watch?”

“But you almost lost your life for me.” Violet looked at him uneasily and innocently. “Grandpa will be sadto hear it, and I

don’t want to take the blame.”

Jack knew it was Michael who almost lost his life for her.

Therefore, he felt very uncomfortable after hearing her words.
